Not so much the main story, though I could like it more if I thought of it as a paean to the Silver Age style. You know, where scoundrels monologue to no-one in particular. And almost all dialogue ends with an exclamation point!<BR/><BR/>But I'd really love to see some stories on Earth-4 and Earth-20 (hoping they'd be well written).Secundushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711472522128229266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-23937933005832479032009-01-07T08:55:00.000-08:002009-01-07T08:55:00.000-08:00Regarding the timeline updates: I forget which iss...Regarding the timeline updates: I forget which issue, but doesn't Barry tell Wally that they've run into the future? I'm sure its not a distant time in the future, but it would explain how the Furies are in two places at once. They presumably would have beaten the "resistance" led by Frankenstein and John Stewart and eventually gone after The Flashes once they got the order....but I could be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-15900406665679360292009-01-05T07:46:00.000-08:002009-01-05T07:46:00.000-08:00I think Darkseid got humiliated when it was reveal...I think Darkseid got humiliated when it was revealed in "Apokolips Classified Secret Files and Origins Confidential, the Untold Stories" #1 (of 1) that he does not actually know which way the horsey is allowed to move in Chess.<BR/><BR/>He's currently constructing a super-hero Candy Land game, so we can expect by Final Crisis #7 his grim declaration, "Go all the way back to Gumdrop, Barry Allen!"Ragtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763066980980022901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-59728267337280927172009-01-03T18:20:00.000-08:002009-01-03T18:20:00.000-08:00I like the evocative panel very much where young J...I like the evocative panel very much where young Justin gazes to the night sky but also at his reflection in the window (hands on his face; he's just been abused by his father).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-61450178347872977992009-01-02T17:06:00.000-08:002009-01-02T17:06:00.000-08:00"Written by Grant Morrison and Peter J.

Tomasi; Art by Frank Quitely and various; Covers by Frank Quitely and Jim Lee and Scott Williams"<BR/>Contents aren't particularly close to what was solicited? Try "Contents are totally different to what was solicited." Man I love me some Len Wein, and it was great to see him getting any kind of action from DC these days, even if its in that "Get Claremont to write the novelization of X3 to keep him sweet; we used all of his ideas" way.<BR/>Any ideas on what happened? You think maybe the original story had something about the 'final fate' of Batman that would have ruined #6? But then wouldn't they have just put it back again and put it out after 6 hit the stands?<BR/>Who knows... By the way, the more we see Morrison's notes for stuff like the sketchbook pages here, the more it seems like Dini and his cohorts took Morrison's actual FC plot, added some of Dini's own vices (Harley Quinn) and mangled it into Countdown.<BR/>Vampire Monitor? Check. Death of the New Gods? Check. Mystery Kamandi stuff? Check. Dead end Flash Rogues subplot? Check...<BR/>Been loving the annotations by the way, keep it up!DeepSpaceTransmissionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792899220352590672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013594081496330946.post-81376753265901339912009-01-02T16:16:00.000-08:002009-01-02T16:16:00.000-08:00Yeah, it happened exactly the same to me.
